I did it! I did it! I did it!

This is it....my very first yarn that I have spun on my new wheel!!!!!!!!!

I havent a clue as to the type of fibre it is except that its wool....its something I bought on ebay ages ago that was dyed in ocean colours. I managed to get about 92 yards(not sure about the weight Im afraid)Im so chuffed...ok I know its a bit thick and thin but that will even out with practice.

I find spinning much easier with a wheel and my legs and arms haven't been as sore as I thought they might be....so fingers crossed it may help with the pain in the long run.

yaaay, well done! You deserve a pat on the back, I'm glad you like your new wheel. I just can't stop spinning my pretty fleece at the mo, I'm going to rename it to "cinderella fleece"! It was easy peasy dyes from www.handspin.co.uk , cheap 'n' cheerful and v. easy to use.you can mail me on chrispindle@yahoo.co.uk if you ever want a "private" chat.Chris

You must be walking round like the cat that got the cream - and deservedly so! I daren't get into spinning just in case I get hooked. Mind you I didn't see the attraction of socks until quire recently so there's always time...
